Funding Resources

The Chancellor’s Diversity Fund has been established to provide mini-grants to Purdue North Central student, faculty and staff groups/clubs/organizations and/or departments to support programming appropriate to the theme “Diversity Makes a Difference.” The intent is to fund as many projects as possible to ensure a breadth of activities throughout the year. It is, therefore, anticipated that grants will normally be in the range of $150 to $500. New campus initiatives will be given priority for funding. Collaborative projects and programs are encouraged.

The Indiana Campus Compact Student Community Service (SCS) Grant supports student projects (group or individual projects) with the community, such as plunge experiences or national Days of Service events (ex: 9/11, MLK Day, Cesar Chavez Day, Earth Day). Funding amounts for the Student Community Service Grants are up to $1,000 with an institutional cash match of $250 for a total grant of $1,250. Projects must impact the residents of Indiana and cannot fund service projects that take place in other states.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and are due the 15th of each month. All applications must be submitted at least six weeks prior to the project start date.

To apply for the Student Community Service (SCS) Grant please contact Laura Weaver, service learning coordinator, at laweaver@pnc.edu. Applications must be submitted to the Center for Service Learning & Leadership via Laura Weaver prior to being forwarded to the funder.
